Does my chick look sick?

[JustBabyMargo]

Sounds like you are doing the most that you can. Medicated feed does not cure coccidiosis, it only prevents it. Do you have antibiotics?

I don’t.

I can’t find any of those anywhere near me. I’m afraid she will most likely not make it. Will my others have a chance though? The corid should work fine?

I don’t.

Okay, well, the others sound like they will make it. Hopefully the corid twice a day would help the other chick.

Thank you.

What would the sugar water do?

I would stick with corid water.

 

[Wyorp Rock]

Okay. I have been doing one teaspoon of corid for a half gallon of water (because they don’t drink a whole gallon a day) and change that out daily. She has been getting 1/4 of a teaspoon every morning.

She will be given her third drench in a minute. The jug’s water will also be replaced.

Make food available to her.

You mention giving 1/4 teaspoon this morning? This was undiluted Corid yes?
Give her only .10ml per pound of weight once a day - this is the DRENCH.

She needs to be drinking as much of the mixed Corid water throughout the day as possible (IN ADDITION TO THE DRENCH). Encourage her to drink. If you need to, then syringed the mixed water into her several times a day.
Encourage her to eat!

Do not give Electrolytes during the course of treatment. They often contain B1 which Contradicts!! the Corid. Corid should be the only thing in the water.

Plain chick starter is fine. Let her eat.
Medicated feed is ok, but it does NOT contain enough Amprolium to control an outbreak.

Most all medicated Chick Starters in the US contain Amprolium/Amprol aka Corid. They do not contain antibiotics. Unless there's a special made mix that is highly regulated to certain farms/states or areas - Chick feed does not contain Antibiotics.
(Corid aka Amprolium/Amprol is a Coccidiostat NOT and antibiotic).

Hope this helps. Do the best you can!

She has been encouraged to eat but she doesn’t have any interest. Do I force feed or no?

Yes 1/4 tsp for the drench. Given once a morning and will be given again this afternoon.

She does drink the corid water even more than the rest of the chicks.

yes! Force feed her! I have had chickens with coccidiosis i wish you the best of luck

The feed I mentioned has the antibacterial stuff that treats coccidia.
Just give them the medicated feed that I mentioned. It has an antibiotic that gets rid of any trace of coccidia. Use the electrolytes I also mentioned instead of the corid. If she makes no progress by Tuesday on the electrolytes then put her back on corid.

I have no idea what the heck mash and corridor is

example: the feed i recommended is only sold in Missouri.

IF The feed you are "recommending" sold in MO is MFA Chick Grower Crumble A, then it contains a SMALL amount of Amprolium.

Couldn't be that though, because the feed you use has "antibacterial stuff" and "antibiotics" So...no...wouldn't be the same thing at all!

Corid is NOT and antibiotic. Sorry.
